Our story

We are one of New Zealand’s leading domestic freight and logistics companies, headquartered in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Our brands have, in some cases, been operating since 1869 and we have a strong presence in provincial New Zealand.

We offer freight transport and warehousing services throughout New Zealand and co-ordinate freight movements offshore through international alliances. We also have a specialist road tanker division which is one of the largest operators in the New Zealand fuel delivery market.

We own and operate through a number of respected and well known New Zealand brands and businesses.

The business began in the 1860s with the original Hooker Brothers transport company. In 1989, a new vision was created – to grow the business and expand nationwide.

A key part of that vision was opening branches across the country and acquiring similar transport businesses that fitted with the company’s operation and thinking – and provided the network and services needed.

In many instances, the acquired companies retained their names and loyal customer base.

The TIL parent company has now aligned its logistics operations into four distinct groups: Freighting, Tankers, Warehousing and International.

The company joined the New Zealand Stock Exchange in December 2017, through a reverse listing with Bethunes Investments Limited, and trades under the NZX ticker code TLL.
